Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Right after upgrading from Maverick to Natty compiz is freezing the desktop after login. No error messages or alike just freezes. Logging in in "Safe Mode" without compiz works so far.

I had similar problem. It might be related to bug #728745 as I have the same graphic card - Nvidia Go 7300.
I tried complete reinstall of system. It is not better: compiz is not starting at all (both Unity and Gnome Classic). It freezes system if I start is manually.

Yes I can confirm this. I also was able to run Compiz/Unity with nvidia-173.

So this seems to be nvidia driver related. I'll try to downgrade to nvidias 260 drivers which were used in Maverick. Maybe this could solve the issue.

But there are still really nasty bugs in compiz. Like emerald is not working.
